Support “Social Media & PR Across Asia” Wiki For The 2008 Edublog Awards
December 1, 2008 – 5:53 am | by Daryl TayI’d like to join Prof. Michael Netzley and Mark to echo my support for Amelia’s nomination of the Social Media & PR Across Asia wiki for the 2008 Edublog Awards. It’s submitted for the Best Educational Wiki
I think our wiki is deserving of a nomination (and a win) because it is the epitome of crowdsourcing and collaboration, the very things that inspired wikis. It’s been maintained for over a year by over 100 students, but not by their efforts alone. We’ve reached out to the prominent figures all over Asia to get their input and integrate it into a comprehensive wiki for anyone to find out more about different social media usages across Asia. I daresay it is the most comprehensive resource for anyone looking to get a quick primer on social media in Asia.
Coming here to Canada for exchange, I’ve met people from all over Asia - Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, China, etc - and it’s amazing to see that our collective research really does mirror what actually goes on in their lives.
If you’ve seen or used our wiki, or even just like the idea of the wiki as a central informational tool, do give the wiki your support and drop a link to the Edublog Awards page and support the nomination!
[Disclosure: I am a contributor to the wiki as part of a course (Digital Media Across Asia) in SMU. I will also be teaching assistant for this course in January, and as such feel tremendously involved in this project and nomination!]
